Easy? Freezable? Big batch?

I believe in three things when it comes to cooking: Easy, Freezable and Big batch. I appreciate an easy, straightforward recipe, without hard to get ingredients or too many complicated steps that will use too many kitchen appliances and utensils (Did I mention yet how much I dislike doing the dishes!).

If there is a recipe that keep well for a few days in the fridge or freeze well, it will go on my list.

Same for food that I can cook a big batch of and then add ingredients to create variations of the same dish throughout the week, often by using food that is about to go to waste.

I am always on the hunt for the recipe that will fulfill all three of these criteria.

The food jackpot!

Agile in the kitchen is a play on words for my penchant for making up variations of true and tried recipes and my day job as a gymnastics coach. It was a very long time since I was agile on the competition floor, but I can still use my agility in the kitchen. Join me in this endeavour and learn with me along the way.

I have learnt as a coach and as a former gymnast about nutrition and the importance of eating well. But, there will be days when you just don’t feel like cooking and that is where whatever you have in your freezer will be your saviour.
